Perspective drawing questions

What is the easiest perspective exercise for beginners?

Start with a horizon line, one vanishing point, and a page of boxes. Boxes make the direction of receding edges easy to check.

Should I learn one-point or two-point perspective first?

Learn one-point perspective first because it establishes horizon lines and vanishing points with less visual complexity. Move to two-point perspective when boxes feel comfortable.

Why do my perspective drawings look wrong?

The most common causes are inconsistent vanishing points, a drifting horizon line, and edges that do not converge toward the same point. Use light construction lines before details.
